The Politics of Equality for Women

The Politics of Equality for Women The cultural assumption that men should provide leadership in private and public affairs, with its implications about political and social power, has been under challenge. In the past few decades, a national consensus has pressed for action to undo the effects of sex discrimination via governors' commissions, federal and state legislation, and executive orders. Visible gains have been made in women's access to education, broader employment opportunities, entrepreneurial capital and credit, pay equity, and participation in politics. Women have learned to recognize the "muscle" inherent in being at least half the population. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work SAGE

Abstract

The cultural assumption that men should provide leadership in private and public affairs, with its implications about political and social power, has been under challenge. In the past few decades, a national consensus has pressed for action to undo the effects of sex discrimination via governors' commissions, federal and state legislation, and executive orders. Visible gains have been made in women's access to education, broader employment opportunities, entrepreneurial capital and credit, pay equity, and participation in politics. Women have learned to recognize the "muscle" inherent in being at least half the population.
